When Feng Yuheng heard the news that Princess Wuyang had returned to the capital, she had already guessed why Xuan Tiange had returned. The Seventh Prince had died in Zong Sui, and the whole world knew about it, so naturally she couldn't hide it from him.
When I hurried into the palace, I saw Xuan Tiange in plain clothes and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Prince Wenxuan and his wife were also there, and Emperor Tianwu was explaining to Xuan Tiange, "Your seventh brother is really not dead. Ah Heng told Uncle Huang himself. If you don't believe me, go ask your Aunt Yun."
Xuan Tiange didn't believe it. While wiping away tears, he said, "Everyone in the world says that Seventh Brother is dead, and you say he's not dead. Where is that person? I have to meet him!"
Emperor Tianwu was trying to make things difficult for him: "Your ninth brother said that he was placed in a very special place to recuperate there, and he can come back after he recovers. Alas, it's all uncle's fault. I should have sent someone to tell you the news earlier. Look at you, you have come all the way here, you must be exhausted, right?" Then he asked Prince Wenxuan: "Has the child not even entered the house? Has he not eaten? Look at you, how come he has become so thin after only being married for a few days? Did you not give enough dowry, youngest? Has the child been bullied in Gu Shu?" After saying that, he stared at the King of Gu Shu, Fan Tianli, with his eyes erect, "Is this how much I love my child by marrying him to you? Don't you Gu Shu want to die?"
Fan Tianli smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, Tiange eats better in Ancient Shu than even I, the king."
"That means you pissed her off."
"How dare I? Tiange's life is not too leisurely. Just look at my former concubines. Ever since she entered the palace, they have been playing mahjong with her every day. Sometimes when I go to see them playing mahjong, they don't even pay attention to me. You say, with that being the case, who can be angry with her?"
"Why do I look thinner?" He held Xuan Tiange's hand and said distressedly: "Tiange, no matter what grievances you have suffered, you can tell me and I will make the decision for you. When I am no longer the emperor, you can find your sixth brother. Your sixth brother has loved you since you were a child." There is only one girl in the Xuan family, and Emperor Tianwu simply dotes on Xuan Tiange. If it is true that the ancient Shu people bullied her, the old emperor can really order troops to conquer the ancient Shu completely.
Xuan Tiange wiped away another tear, "Tiange knows that Uncle Huang and my brothers love me very much, but, Uncle Huang, I want to see my seventh brother, where is my seventh brother?"
Feng Yuheng entered the Qiankun Hall and happened to hear this, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Xuan Tiange heard the voice, turned around, and saw Feng Yuheng coming. He quickly stepped forward and hugged him, saying loudly: "Ah Heng, Ah Heng! Tell me quickly, is Seventh Brother dead or alive? If he is still alive, then where is he?"
Feng Yuheng patted Xuan Tiange's back and repeated to her what he had said to Emperor Tianwu and Concubine Yun: "Seventh Brother is really still alive, but he is seriously injured and unconscious. Your ninth brother and I have placed him in a special place, and he cannot leave for the time being. But don't worry, with me here, Seventh Brother will definitely wake up."
"Then why don't you explain it to the world? Why do all the people say that Seventh Brother is dead? Ah Heng, do you know that when I came back to Beijing from Gu Shu, all I heard was the news that Seventh Brother was killed in the bombing outside Tongcheng. All I saw were people in plain clothes mourning for Seventh Brother. Some people even said that they would mourn for Seventh Brother for three years. My heart almost couldn't survive to see you. Ah Heng, I feel so bad."
She sobbed and pulled Feng Yuheng's sleeve, wetting half of her arm. Feng Yuheng also sighed: "People also said that the whole world believes this, because the Seventh Brother was indeed in danger outside of Tongcheng of Zong Sui, and too many people saw it. In addition, some people maliciously described the situation at that time as more tragic, which led to the whole world believing that the Seventh Brother was dead. You know, it is not easy to break the fact that everyone has believed in their hearts, unless the Seventh Brother stands alive in front of the world. Unfortunately, it is not possible now."
Xuan Tiange held her hand and asked pitifully, "Is everything you said true? Is Seventh Brother really still alive? And is there still a chance for him to wake up?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Of course, I will definitely want to come!" She was telling Xuan Tiange, and also telling herself.
"Okay then." Xuan Tiange wiped away his tears. "Since you said so, I will believe you. Ah Heng, you know that I have had a deep relationship with these brothers since I was a child, especially the seventh and ninth brothers, who have been playing with me since I was a child. I really can't accept any of them leaving me. So, Ah Heng, please do your best to make sure that the seventh brother is cured."
"Don't worry." Feng Yuheng said, "I am just like you. I can't accept anyone leaving. Tiange, believe me! I will definitely cure Seventh Brother."
Xuan Tiange's heartache was finally relieved. She finally laughed, turned around and took Emperor Tianwu's hand, and excitedly told him about what she had seen and heard in ancient Shu. She also emphasized that after she arrived in ancient Shu, she brought the culture of Dashun to ancient Shu, allowing the people of ancient Shu to better understand Dashun and respect it more.
However, Emperor Tianwu didn't care about these at all. He was thinking about one thing in his mind: "Is it really fun to make trouble? Is it more fun than playing Landlord?"
Xuan Tiange was stunned for a moment, then he became more interested. He grabbed Emperor Tianwu and shouted exaggeratedly: "It's fun, very fun! How can what Ah Heng teaches not be fun! Uncle Huang, let me tell you..." After a while, Xuan Tiange began to tell Emperor Tianwu about playing mahjong.
The two of them were talking so lively that everyone else was left alone. Fan Tianli spread his hands and said to everyone, "This is how she plays mahjong in ancient Shu. Do you think she looks like she's been bullied?"
King Wenxuan shook his head. It was not like that. He believed that his daughter would not be bullied. Not to mention that there was such a powerful maternal clan as Dashun to guard the rear, the people Feng Yuheng gave were all elites with heavy weapons! Each of them could blow up the entire ancient Shu if they disagreed with her. Would the king of ancient Shu bully her out of boredom? Besides, he was confident in his daughter's charm and ability to handle things. After all, she was a real princess of Dashun. She had learned a lot about how to manage the family and the country since she was a child. She had been preparing for a day to marry another country and become the mother of a country.
Feng Yuheng also began to reflect: "Alas, I taught her, I taught her. I originally wanted to help her entertain herself in her free time, but I didn't expect her to be so obsessed with it."
Zhang Yuan, who was listening at the side, also chimed in: "What the princess brought out is really good, the kind called poker. The emperor and Concubine Yun both like to play it, and they ask me to play a few rounds with them every day."
Feng Yuheng raised an eyebrow. Was this damn eunuch sure that he was playing with the emperor and the concubines, and not just playing himself?
Zhang Yuan saw what Feng Yuheng was looking at, and felt a little embarrassed. "Of course, I also think it's fun. But, from what Princess Wuyang said, making trouble is more fun than playing poker..."
Feng Yuheng understood, "Okay! I'll send another set of mahjong to the palace and teach you. But the trouble is that it requires four people to play, and you are one short."
"I am coming!" Prince Wenxuan quickly tightened his grip, "I am coming, I am coming. I have nothing to do in the mansion, so I will come to the palace to accompany my brother."
"How can you do that?" Princess Wenxuan glanced at him. "Haven't you heard that besides the emperor, there is also a queen? How can you do that by playing cards with your sister-in-law? Zhang Yuan, don't listen to him. I'll do it."
Feng Yuheng and Fan Tianli were speechless. Well, now they have nothing to do at all.
In order to welcome Xuan Tiange and Fan Tianli, the palace, which had not held a banquet for a long time, held a grand banquet again. This time, the people who could enter the palace to attend the banquet were much more harmonious, because the officials were all the trusted officials left after several rounds of purges. This trusted official included the trusted officials of Emperor Tianwu, the trusted officials of Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua, and the trusted officials of Xuan Tianfeng. With so many trusted officials together, they all worked together, and even their families understood that they were all in the same group. Therefore, even if they fought to the death behind closed doors, they had to be friendly to the outside world, maintain good relations with every household, and be loyal to the court. Because this was related to the fortune of their master, and also to their own lives.
At the palace banquet, the sisters finally gathered together again. Xuan Tiange, Feng Tianyu, Ren Xifeng, Bai Furong, Xiangrong, Fendai, and Feng Yuheng, they sat in a circle, looked at each other, and laughed together. Xuan Tiange pointed at Feng Tianyu and said, "I didn't expect that you would marry Li Kun. But what did you do in the beginning? If you had known the situation today, you should have married Li Kun when he came to our Dashun to show off his iron spirit. Maybe you could have helped Li Kun ascend to the throne and become the queen."
Feng Tianyu curled her lips, "Who wants to be the queen? I just want to stay at home, facing my own parents every day, and be at ease." After that, she pointed at Ren Xifeng and said, "She is so funny! After so many years, she has been choosing and choosing until she was twenty years old, and she actually found that she and the Sixth Prince are a good match. What were you doing before? We have been in the capital since we were young. If you want to fall in love with the Sixth Prince, why do you have to wait until you are twenty years old!"
Ren Xifeng was also quite helpless. "The problem is that I didn't have much contact with the Sixth Prince before I was twenty years old. You don't know him yet. When he was in the capital, he locked himself in the library. He either left the capital, traveled around, or was stationed in the northeast. He was rarely seen at palace banquets, so how could we have any contact? Ask Ah Heng to tell me how many times she has seen the Sixth Prince in the years since she returned to the capital?"
Feng Yuheng quite agreed with this. She said, "I remember that year when I met Sixth Brother in the suburbs of Beijing, I didn't recognize him at first, and I chatted with him for a long time. It was only later that I realized it. This shows how low-key Sixth Brother is." She smiled at Ren Xifeng and said sincerely, "Xifeng is so lucky."
"You are so lucky!" Everyone said in unison, and then smiled at each other. The laughter spread throughout the Jade Palace, making people feel happy.
